MOAR BLUE POLISH! Seriously, It's not that common for me to go on a color-kick that lasts 3 manis, but here we are with the next gorgeous blue in a row.

Aspen is a deep navy-sapphire base absolutely jam packed with a drop-dead-gorgeous contrasting shimmer that shifts from warm burgundy red to blazing copper-bronze; though it looks Clarins 230-ish, I never saw it get to emerald green.

Additionally, there's a truckload of silver holo flake in here. Usually, silver holo flake looks more silver to me and only sparks rainbows in very bright sunlight, but nope, this was as blingy as if filled with glitter and not flake. Though this particular flake does make things just a bit textured, 2 coats of topcoat smoothed it right out, and I had no particular trouble with removal.

The contrasting shimmer makes this polish a dramatic chameleon - sometimes it's coppery wine, sometimes purple, and sometimes deep navy depending on how the light hits the shimmer. Sometimes the shimmer floats on top, and others it just changes the overall look completely.

After wearing this for 3 days, I still wasn't quite ready to take it off, so stamping time indeed. I've used this arcing net motif from Powder Perfect Egypt 1 plate and Born Pretty silver stamping polish to totally change up the look without covering up all that devastating bling.

Rating: a dazzling 5 out of 5 stars. Polished For Days won me over with
the very first polish of theirs I tried, and Aspen here is no different - an excellent formula that's just shy of being a one-coater and is perfect at two, stays where you put it, minimal cleanup needed, and wore great on me for days.
Where to buy: finally, one that's not LE! Snag this luscious blue
direct from Polished For Days.
